The Minister for Relief and Disaster Preparedness says the Congolese refugees who drowned in Lake Albert over the weekend were heading back home in response to calls from their tribal chief. MinisterHillary Onek's remarks are an apparent attempt to counter claims made by one of the survivors about fleeing Kyangwali refugee camp in Hoima, because of what he called "miserable" conditions they were living in.

Power boat racing with a twist... a water skier! They named this race after a man who died in one of these races at this very same lake a few years ago. He fell at high speed and broke his neck.

Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel; later The Prince Consort; 26 August 1819 – 14 December 1861) was the husband of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
He was born in the Saxon duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld to a family connected to many of Europe's ruling monarchs. At the age of 20 he married his first cousin, Queen Victoria, with whom he would ultimately have nine children. At first, Albert felt constrained by his position as consort, which did not confer any power or duties upon him. Over time he adopted many public causes, such as educational reform and a worldwide abolition of slavery, and took on the responsibilities of running the Queen's household, estates and office. He was heavily involved with the organisation of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Albert aided in the development of Britain's constitutional monarchy by persuading his wife to show less partisanship in her dealings with Parliament—although he actively disagreed with the interventionist foreign policy pursued during Lord Palmerston's tenure as Foreign Secretary.
He died at the early age of 42, plunging the Queen into a deep mourning that lasted for the rest of her life. Upon Queen Victoria's death in 1901, their eldest son, Edward VII, succeeded as the first British monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, named after the ducal house to which Albert belonged.
The Queen's grief was overwhelming, and the tepid feelings the public had felt previously for Albert were replaced by sympathy.[108] Victoria wore black in mourning for the rest of her long life, and Albert's rooms in all his houses were kept as they had been, even with hot water brought in the morning, and linen and towels changed daily.[109] Such practices were not uncommon in the houses of the very rich.[110] Victoria withdrew from public life and her seclusion eroded some of Albert's work in attempting to re-model the monarchy as a national institution setting a moral, if not political, example.[111] Albert is credited with introducing the principle that the British royal family should remain above politics.[112] Before his marriage to Victoria, she supported the Whigs; for example, early in her reign Victoria managed to thwart the formation of a Tory government by Sir Robert Peel by refusing to accept substitutions which Peel wanted to make among her ladies-in-waiting.[113]
Albert's body was temporarily entombed in St George's Chapel, WindsorCastle,[114] until a year after his death his remains were deposited at Frogmore Mausoleum, which remained incomplete until 1871.[115] The sarcophagus, in which both he and the Queen were eventually laid, was carved from the largest block of granite that had ever been quarried in Britain.[116] Despite Albert's request that no effigies of him should be raised, many public monuments were erected all over the country, and across the British Empire.[117] The most notable are the Royal Albert Hall and the Albert Memorial in London. The plethora of memorials erected to Albert became so great that Charles Dickens told a friend that he sought an "inaccessible cave" to escape from them.[118]
All manner of objects are named after Prince Albert, from Lake Albert in Africa to the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, to the Albert Medal presented by the Royal Society of Arts. Four regiments of the British Army were named after him: 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars; Prince Albert's Light Infantry; Prince Albert's Own Leicestershire Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, and The Prince Consort's Own Rifle Brigade. He and Queen Victoria showed a keen interest in the establishment and development of Aldershot in Hampshire as a garrison town in the 1850s. They had a wooden Royal Pavilion built there in which they would often stay when attending reviews of the army.[119] Albert established and endowed the Prince Consort's Library at Aldershot, which still exists today.[120]
Biographies published after his death were typically heavy on eulogy. Theodore Martin's five-volume magnum opus was authorised and supervised by Queen Victoria, and her influence shows in its pages. Nevertheless, it is an accurate and exhaustive account.[121] Lytton Strachey's Queen Victoria (1921) was more critical, but it was discredited in part by mid-twentieth-century biographers such as Hector Bolitho and Roger Fulford, who (unlike Strachey) had access to Victoria's journal and letters.

Building wiring is the electrical wiring and associated devices such as switches, meters and light fittings used in buildings or other structures. Electrical wiring uses insulated conductors.
Wiring safety codes vary by country, and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is attempting to standardise wiring amongst member countries. Wires and cables are rated by the circuit voltage, temperature and environmental conditions (moisture, sunlight, oil, chemicals) in which they can be used. Colour codes are used to distinguish line, neutral and ground (earth) wires.

It is about 160km (100mi) long and 30km (19mi) wide, with a maximum depth of 51m (168ft), and a surface elevation of 619 m (2,030ft) above sea level.

Lake Albert is part of the complicated system of the upper Nile. Its main sources are the Victoria Nile, ultimately coming from Lake Victoria to the southeast, and the Semliki River, which issues from Lake Edward to the southwest. The water of the Victoria Nile is much less saline than that of Lake Albert. Its outlet, at the northernmost tip of the lake, is the Albert Nile, which becomes known as the Mountain Nile when it enters South Sudan.

Albert Alexander

Reserve Constable Albert Alexander (c. 1897 – 15 March 1941) was the fourth patient to be treated with injections of penicillin.

Albert Alexander was a constable in the police force of the County of Oxford, England. In December 1940, Constable Alexander was accidentally scratched by a rose thorn in his mouth. By the end of the month, the scratch was badly infected with both Staphylococcus and Streptococcus and Constable Alexander was hospitalised in the Radcliffe Infirmary. Despite efforts of various treatments, Alexander's head was covered with abscesses and one of his eyes had been removed.

Wires and cables are rated by the circuit voltage, temperature and environmental conditions (moisture, sunlight, oil, chemicals) in which they can be used. Colour codes are used to distinguish line, neutral and ground (earth) wires.

African Safari Uganda Travel Video in Murchison Falls National Park

Murchison Falls National Park - UgandaSafari
Like most tours or activities on the road, I chose them based on personal recommendation. I never trust websites, nor do I place confidence in booking ahead, especially when a pre-payment is due. My most recent tour in Uganda, came about no different. A 3-day safari to Murchison Falls National Park via Red ChiliHideaway!!
Considered the cheapest option around, Red Chili MF safaris include 3 days, 2 game drive, 2 waterfall hikes and 1 Nile boat ride to the base of Murchison Falls. A very enticing agenda, which also included 2 nights "free" accommodation in the safari tents along with transportation to and from Kampala.
The park is home to loads of wildlife. Elephants, giraffes, water buffalo, African cob (antelope), a few pride of lion, ...

Murchison Falls on the White Nile, Uganda

Murchison Falls, also known as Kabarega Falls, is a waterfall on the Nile. It breaks the Victoria Nile, which flows across northern Uganda from Lake Victoria to Lake Kyoga and then to the north end of Lake Albert in the western branch of the East African Rift. At the top of Murchison Falls, the Nile forces its way through a gap in the rocks, only 7 metres (23 ft) wide, and tumbles 43 metres (141 ft), then flows westward into Lake Albert. The outlet of Lake Victoria sends around 300 cubic metres per second (11,000 ft³/s) of water over the falls, squeezed into a gorge less than ten metres (30 ft) wide. [wikipedia]

Bangweulu wetlands

The Bangweulu wetlands in a small corner of north-eastern Zambia, is a community-owned protected area and one of the most extraordinary wetlands in Africa. The park is managed as a partnership between the community and African Parks, a South African based conservation organisation. The 50|50 team goes on a search through the swampy maze to find the illusive and rare prehistoric-looking shoebill. During their adventure, they are overwhelmed by the amazing biodiversity of the area with an incredible number of bird species, large herds of endemic Black Lechwe stretching from horizon to horizon and breathtaking scenery. There are surprises around every corner, including a large population of local people who live in relative harmony with their environment.

True Natural Beauty lies in Uganda

many people have different mis-conceptions about Uganda.... but when we put our ignorances apart and take a good look at the country, you will surely discover that Uganda is the ''Pearl of Africa''

Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda

Kidepo Valley National Park is one of the most untouched treasures in Africa. Situated on the border of Uganda, South Sudan and Kenya it boasts an incredible amount of wildlife, stunning landscapes, variety of activities and none of the human traffic you would expect to find in more known parks. With lions, leopard, ostrich, elephants, giraffe, hyena, eland, the largest herds of buffalo in Africa and countless other species, it really does have it all.
Apoka lodge is a gem in itself within the park, set in a beautiful landscape with top class facilities the lodge really does stand out as one in a kind. A watering hole is a stones throw from the dining area meaning there's always wildlife nearby.
The park also offers walking safaris, night game drives and visits to the local Karamajong...

Reporter's File - Ugandan tourist attractions

Uganda boasts of substantial natural resources which provide it with a comparative advantage over its neighbors in the tourism industry.
Uganda currently has more than 3,200 established tourism sites, but transport to most of them remains a big challenge. Tourism’s direct contribution to Gross Domestic Product stands at 834 million dollars, representing 4% of total country’s GDP.
The sector according to the country’s Ministry of TourismWild Life and Antiquities contributes nearly 26% of Uganda’s total exports earnings. Despite having a stable government for nearly three decades, foreigners still think of Uganda as the country of Idi Amin; too many people dying of HIV/ Aids, war and corruption.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NileThe Nile (Arabic: النيل, an-Nīl; Ancient Egyptian: Iteru & Ḥ'pī; CopticEgyptian: ⲫⲓⲁⲣⲱ, P(h)iaro; Amharic: ዓባይ?, ʿAbbai) is a major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa, generally regarded as the longest river in the world. It is 6,650 km (4,130 miles) long. It runs through the ten countries of Sudan, SouthSudan, Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and Egypt.
The Nile has two major tributaries, the White Nile and Blue Nile. The White Nile is longer and rises in the Great Lakes region of central Africa, with the most distant source still undetermined but located in either Rwanda or Burundi. It flows north through Tanzania, Lake Victoria, Uganda and South Sudan. The Blue Nile is the source of most of the water and fertile soil. It begins at LakeTana in Ethiopia at 12°02′09″N 037°15′53″E and flows into Sudan from the southeast. The two rivers meet near the Sudanese capital of Khartoum.
The northern section of the river flows almost entirely through desert, from Sudan into Egypt, a country whose civilization has depended on the river since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along those parts of the Nile valley north of Aswan, and nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along riverbanks. The Nile ends in a large delta that empties into the Mediterranean Sea...Above Khartoum the Nile is also known as the White Nile, a term also used in a limited sense to describe the section between Lake No and Khartoum. At Khartoum the river is joined by the Blue Nile. The White Nile starts in equatorial East Africa, and the Blue Nile begins in Ethiopia. Both branches are on the western flanks of the East African Rift.
The drainage basin of the Nile covers 3,254,555 square kilometres (1,256,591 sq mi), about 10% of the area of Africa. The Nile basin is complex, and because of this, the discharge at any given point along the mainstem depends on many factors including weather, diversions, evaporation and evapotranspiration, and groundwater flow...
SourceThe source of the Nile is sometimes considered to be Lake Victoria, but the lake has feeder rivers of considerable size. The Kagera River, which flows into Lake Victoria near the Tanzanian town of Bukoba, is the longest feeder, although sources do not agree on which is the longest tributary of the Kagera and hence the most distant source of the Nile itself. It is either the Ruvyironza, which emerges in Bururi Province, Burundi,[9] or the Nyabarongo, which flows from Nyungwe Forest in Rwanda. The two feeder rivers meet near Rusumo Falls on the Rwanda-Tanzania border...
Lost headwaters
Formerly Lake Tanganyika drained northwards along the African Rift Valley into the White Nile, making the Nile about 1,400 kilometres (870 mi) longer, until blocked in Miocene times by the bulk of the Virunga Volcanoes.
In Uganda
The Nile leaves Lake Victoria at Ripon Falls near Jinja, Uganda, as the Victoria Nile. It flows for approximately 500 kilometres (300 mi) farther, through Lake Kyoga, until it reaches Lake Albert. After leaving Lake Albert, the river is known as the Albert Nile.
In South Sudan
It then flows into South Sudan, where it is known as the Bahr al Jabal ("River of the Mountain"). The Bahr al Ghazal, itself 716 kilometres (445 mi) long, joins the Bahr al Jabal at a small lagoon called Lake No, after which the Nile becomes known as the Bahr al Abyad, or the White Nile, from the whitish clay suspended in its waters. When the Nile floods it leaves a rich silty deposit which fertilizes the soil. The Nile no longer floods in Egypt since the completion of the Aswan Dam in 1970...
In Sudan
BelowRenk the White Nile enters Sudan, it flows north to Khartoum and meets the Blue Nile.
The course of the Nile in Sudan is distinctive. It flows over six groups of cataracts, from the first at Aswan to the sixth at Sabaloka (just north of Khartoum) and then turns to flow southward before again returning to flow north. This is called the Great Bend of the Nile.
In the north of Sudan the river enters Lake Nasser (known in Sudan as Lake Nubia), the larger part of which is in Egypt.
In Egypt
Below the Aswan High Dam, at the northern limit of Lake Nasser, the Nile resumes its historic course.
North of Cairo, the Nile splits into two branches (or distributaries) that feed the Mediterranean: the RosettaBranch to the west and the Damietta to the east, forming the Nile Delta...

The beauty of Murchison Falls National Park captured by Reynold Mainse set to the music of Sunrise Over Africa by Sean Frew. I spent one day in Murchison Falls National Park as a tourist with my Canon 5D Mark II in hand to capture photos and video. Murchison Falls National Park is the jewel of Ugandas game parks. It is located along the Western Rift Valley in the northwest of Uganda. The park is 3877 sq km and contains 76 mammal species and 450 bird species. There are many vegetation zones including savannah, riveriene forest, and woodland forest. The key feature of the park is Murchison Falls where the Victoria Nile funnels down a 6 m wide gorge dropping 40 m at 6 million cubic meters per second making it the most dramatic thing ever to happen to the Nile on its 6700 km long journey to the Mediterranean. The highest density of wildlife is found in the delta that is bound by the Victoria Nile, Lake Albert, and the Albert Nile. This is one of the best places to track the chimpanzees.

The Power of Rain Drops

A large portion of the Namibian rangeland has been incised by erosion gullies down which much of the rainwater flows away, leaving the rangeland drier and less productive than in the past. Application of grazing management is usually insufficient on its own to restore protective grass cover where gullies dry the landscape. Therefore, various restoration techniques have been applied in different sites, relying mainly on local resources.

Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel; later The Prince Consort; 26 August 1819 – 14 December 1861) was the husband of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
He was born in the Saxon duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld to a family connected to many of Europe's ruling monarchs. At the age of 20 he married his first cousin, Queen Victoria, with whom he would ultimately have nine children. At first, Albert felt constrained by his position as consort, which did not confer any power or duties upon him. Over time he adopted many public causes, such as educational reform and a worldwide abolition of slavery, and took on the responsibilities of running the Queen's household, estates and office. He was heavily involved with the organisation of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Albert aided in the development of Britain's constitutional monarchy by persuading his wife to show less partisanship in her dealings with Parliament—although he actively disagreed with the interventionist foreign policy pursued during Lord Palmerston's tenure as Foreign Secretary.
He died at the early age of 42, plunging the Queen into a deep mourning that lasted for the rest of her life. Upon Queen Victoria's death in 1901, their eldest son, Edward VII, succeeded as the first British monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, named after the ducal house to which Albert belonged.
The Queen's grief was overwhelming, and the tepid feelings the public had felt previously for Albert were replaced by sympathy.[108] Victoria wore black in mourning for the rest of her long life, and Albert's rooms in all his houses were kept as they had been, even with hot water brought in the morning, and linen and towels changed daily.[109] Such practices were not uncommon in the houses of the very rich.[110] Victoria withdrew from public life and her seclusion eroded some of Albert's work in attempting to re-model the monarchy as a national institution setting a moral, if not political, example.[111] Albert is credited with introducing the principle that the British royal family should remain above politics.[112] Before his marriage to Victoria, she supported the Whigs; for example, early in her reign Victoria managed to thwart the formation of a Tory government by Sir Robert Peel by refusing to accept substitutions which Peel wanted to make among her ladies-in-waiting.[113]
Albert's body was temporarily entombed in St George's Chapel, WindsorCastle,[114] until a year after his death his remains were deposited at Frogmore Mausoleum, which remained incomplete until 1871.[115] The sarcophagus, in which both he and the Queen were eventually laid, was carved from the largest block of granite that had ever been quarried in Britain.[116] Despite Albert's request that no effigies of him should be raised, many public monuments were erected all over the country, and across the British Empire.[117] The most notable are the Royal Albert Hall and the Albert Memorial in London. The plethora of memorials erected to Albert became so great that Charles Dickens told a friend that he sought an "inaccessible cave" to escape from them.[118]
All manner of objects are named after Prince Albert, from Lake Albert in Africa to the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, to the Albert Medal presented by the Royal Society of Arts. Four regiments of the British Army were named after him: 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars; Prince Albert's Light Infantry; Prince Albert's Own Leicestershire Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, and The Prince Consort's Own Rifle Brigade. He and Queen Victoria showed a keen interest in the establishment and development of Aldershot in Hampshire as a garrison town in the 1850s. They had a wooden Royal Pavilion built there in which they would often stay when attending reviews of the army.[119] Albert established and endowed the Prince Consort's Library at Aldershot, which still exists today.[120]
Biographies published after his death were typically heavy on eulogy. Theodore Martin's five-volume magnum opus was authorised and supervised by Queen Victoria, and her influence shows in its pages. Nevertheless, it is an accurate and exhaustive account.[121] Lytton Strachey's Queen Victoria (1921) was more critical, but it was discredited in part by mid-twentieth-century biographers such as Hector Bolitho and Roger Fulford, who (unlike Strachey) had access to Victoria's journal and letters.

A large portion of the Namibian rangeland has been incised by erosion gullies down which much of the rainwater flows away, leaving the rangeland drier and less productive than in the past. Application of grazing management is usually insufficient on its own to restore protective grass cover where gullies dry the landscape. Therefore, various restoration techniques have been applied in different sites, relying mainly on local resources.

African Safari Uganda Travel Video in Murchison Falls National Park

Murchison Falls National Park - UgandaSafari
Like most tours or activities on the road, I chose them based on personal recommendation. I never trust websites, nor do I place confidence in booking ahead, especially when a pre-payment is due. My most recent tour in Uganda, came about no different. A 3-day safari to Murchison Falls National Park via Red ChiliHideaway!!
Considered the cheapest option around, Red Chili MF safaris include 3 days, 2 game drive, 2 waterfall hikes and 1 Nile boat ride to the base of Murchison Falls. A very enticing agenda, which also included 2 nights "free" accommodation in the safari tents along with transportation to and from Kampala.
The park is home to loads of wildlife. Elephants, giraffes, water buffalo, African cob (antelope), a few pride of lion, crocodiles and my favorite, Hippos! I had never seen a hippo in the wild until this trip and my excitement was palpable. Large and in charge, they ruled the Nile. A river cruise to the base of Murchison Falls (where the Nile flowing from Lake Victoria crashes down and flows into Lake Albert) is also a highlight!

Murchison Falls on the White Nile, Uganda

Murchison Falls, also known as Kabarega Falls, is a waterfall on the Nile. It breaks the Victoria Nile, which flows across northern Uganda from Lake Victoria to Lake Kyoga and then to the north end of Lake Albert in the western branch of the East African Rift. At the top of Murchison Falls, the Nile forces its way through a gap in the rocks, only 7 metres (23 ft) wide, and tumbles 43 metres (141 ft), then flows westward into Lake Albert. The outlet of Lake Victoria sends around 300 cubic metres per second (11,000 ft³/s) of water over the falls, squeezed into a gorge less than ten metres (30 ft) wide. [wikipedia]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NileThe Nile (Arabic: النيل, an-Nīl; Ancient Egyptian: Iteru & Ḥ'pī; CopticEgyptian: ⲫⲓⲁⲣⲱ, P(h)iaro; Amharic: ዓባይ?, ʿAbbai) is a major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa, generally regarded as the longest river in the world. It is 6,650 km (4,130 miles) long. It runs through the ten countries of Sudan, SouthSudan, Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and Egypt.
The Nile has two major tributaries, the White Nile and Blue Nile. The White Nile is longer and rises in the Great Lakes region of central Africa, with the most distant source still undetermined but located in either Rwanda or Burundi. It flows north through Tanzania, Lake Victoria, Uganda and South Sudan. The Blue Nile is the source of most of the water and fertile soil. It begins at LakeTana in Ethiopia at 12°02′09″N 037°15′53″E and flows into Sudan from the southeast. The two rivers meet near the Sudanese capital of Khartoum.
The northern section of the river flows almost entirely through desert, from Sudan into Egypt, a country whose civilization has depended on the river since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along those parts of the Nile valley north of Aswan, and nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along riverbanks. The Nile ends in a large delta that empties into the Mediterranean Sea...Above Khartoum the Nile is also known as the White Nile, a term also used in a limited sense to describe the section between Lake No and Khartoum. At Khartoum the river is joined by the Blue Nile. The White Nile starts in equatorial East Africa, and the Blue Nile begins in Ethiopia. Both branches are on the western flanks of the East African Rift.
The drainage basin of the Nile covers 3,254,555 square kilometres (1,256,591 sq mi), about 10% of the area of Africa. The Nile basin is complex, and because of this, the discharge at any given point along the mainstem depends on many factors including weather, diversions, evaporation and evapotranspiration, and groundwater flow...
SourceThe source of the Nile is sometimes considered to be Lake Victoria, but the lake has feeder rivers of considerable size. The Kagera River, which flows into Lake Victoria near the Tanzanian town of Bukoba, is the longest feeder, although sources do not agree on which is the longest tributary of the Kagera and hence the most distant source of the Nile itself. It is either the Ruvyironza, which emerges in Bururi Province, Burundi,[9] or the Nyabarongo, which flows from Nyungwe Forest in Rwanda. The two feeder rivers meet near Rusumo Falls on the Rwanda-Tanzania border...
Lost headwaters
Formerly Lake Tanganyika drained northwards along the African Rift Valley into the White Nile, making the Nile about 1,400 kilometres (870 mi) longer, until blocked in Miocene times by the bulk of the Virunga Volcanoes.
In Uganda
The Nile leaves Lake Victoria at Ripon Falls near Jinja, Uganda, as the Victoria Nile. It flows for approximately 500 kilometres (300 mi) farther, through Lake Kyoga, until it reaches Lake Albert. After leaving Lake Albert, the river is known as the Albert Nile.
In South Sudan
It then flows into South Sudan, where it is known as the Bahr al Jabal ("River of the Mountain"). The Bahr al Ghazal, itself 716 kilometres (445 mi) long, joins the Bahr al Jabal at a small lagoon called Lake No, after which the Nile becomes known as the Bahr al Abyad, or the White Nile, from the whitish clay suspended in its waters. When the Nile floods it leaves a rich silty deposit which fertilizes the soil. The Nile no longer floods in Egypt since the completion of the Aswan Dam in 1970...
In Sudan
BelowRenk the White Nile enters Sudan, it flows north to Khartoum and meets the Blue Nile.
The course of the Nile in Sudan is distinctive. It flows over six groups of cataracts, from the first at Aswan to the sixth at Sabaloka (just north of Khartoum) and then turns to flow southward before again returning to flow north. This is called the Great Bend of the Nile.
In the north of Sudan the river enters Lake Nasser (known in Sudan as Lake Nubia), the larger part of which is in Egypt.
In Egypt
Below the Aswan High Dam, at the northern limit of Lake Nasser, the Nile resumes its historic course.
North of Cairo, the Nile splits into two branches (or distributaries) that feed the Mediterranean: the RosettaBranch to the west and the Damietta to the east, forming the Nile Delta...

Bangweulu wetlands

The Bangweulu wetlands in a small corner of north-eastern Zambia, is a community-owned protected area and one of the most extraordinary wetlands in Africa. The park is managed as a partnership between the community and African Parks, a South African based conservation organisation. The 50|50 team goes on a search through the swampy maze to find the illusive and rare prehistoric-looking shoebill. During their adventure, they are overwhelmed by the amazing biodiversity of the area with an incredible number of bird species, large herds of endemic Black Lechwe stretching from horizon to horizon and breathtaking scenery. There are surprises around every corner, including a large population of local people who live in relative harmony with their environment.

Kidepo Valley National Park is one of the most untouched treasures in Africa. Situated on the border of Uganda, South Sudan and Kenya it boasts an incredible amount of wildlife, stunning landscapes, variety of activities and none of the human traffic you would expect to find in more known parks. With lions, leopard, ostrich, elephants, giraffe, hyena, eland, the largest herds of buffalo in Africa and countless other species, it really does have it all.
Apoka lodge is a gem in itself within the park, set in a beautiful landscape with top class facilities the lodge really does stand out as one in a kind. A watering hole is a stones throw from the dining area meaning there's always wildlife nearby.
The park also offers walking safaris, night game drives and visits to the local Karamajong tribes to get a taste of authentic culture.

Murchison Falls National Park video UGANDA Africa Beautiful Sights

The beauty of Murchison Falls National Park captured by Reynold Mainse set to the music of Sunrise Over Africa by Sean Frew. I spent one day in Murchison Falls National Park as a tourist with my Canon 5D Mark II in hand to capture photos and video. Murchison Falls National Park is the jewel of Ugandas game parks. It is located along the Western Rift Valley in the northwest of Uganda. The park is 3877 sq km and contains 76 mammal species and 450 bird species. There are many vegetation zones including savannah, riveriene forest, and woodland forest. The key feature of the park is Murchison Falls where the Victoria Nile funnels down a 6 m wide gorge dropping 40 m at 6 million cubic meters per second making it the most dramatic thing ever to happen to the Nile on its 6700 km long journey to the Mediterranean. The highest density of wildlife is found in the delta that is bound by the Victoria Nile, Lake Albert, and the Albert Nile. This is one of the best places to track the chimpanzees.

'Nature at its best.'

Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel; later The Prince Consort; 26 August 1819 – 14 December 1861) was the husband of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
He was born in the Saxon duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld to a family connected to many of Europe's ruling monarchs. At the age of 20 he married his first cousin, Queen Victoria, with whom he would ultimately have nine children. At first, Albert felt constrained by his position as consort, which did not confer any power or duties upon him. Over time he adopted many public causes, such as educational reform and a worldwide abolition of slavery, and took on the responsibilities of running the Queen's household, estates and office. He was heavily involved with the organisation of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Albert aided in the development of Britain's constitutional monarchy by persuading his wife to show less partisanship in her dealings with Parliament—although he actively disagreed with the interventionist foreign policy pursued during Lord Palmerston's tenure as Foreign Secretary.
He died at the early age of 42, plunging the Queen into a deep mourning that lasted for the rest of her life. Upon Queen Victoria's death in 1901, their eldest son, Edward VII, succeeded as the first British monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, named after the ducal house to which Albert belonged.
The Queen's grief was overwhelming, and the tepid feelings the public had felt previously for Albert were replaced by sympathy.[108] Victoria wore black in mourning for the rest of her long life, and Albert's rooms in all his houses were kept as they had been, even with hot water brought in the morning, and linen and towels changed daily.[109] Such practices were not uncommon in the houses of the very rich.[110] Victoria withdrew from public life and her seclusion eroded some of Albert's work in attempting to re-model the monarchy as a national institution setting a moral, if not political, example.[111] Albert is credited with introducing the principle that the British royal family should remain above politics.[112] Before his marriage to Victoria, she supported the Whigs; for example, early in her reign Victoria managed to thwart the formation of a Tory government by Sir Robert Peel by refusing to accept substitutions which Peel wanted to make among her ladies-in-waiting.[113]
Albert's body was temporarily entombed in St George's Chapel, WindsorCastle,[114] until a year after his death his remains were deposited at Frogmore Mausoleum, which remained incomplete until 1871.[115] The sarcophagus, in which both he and the Queen were eventually laid, was carved from the largest block of granite that had ever been quarried in Britain.[116] Despite Albert's request that no effigies of him should be raised, many public monuments were erected all over the country, and across the British Empire.[117] The most notable are the Royal Albert Hall and the Albert Memorial in London. The plethora of memorials erected to Albert became so great that Charles Dickens told a friend that he sought an "inaccessible cave" to escape from them.[118]
All manner of objects are named after Prince Albert, from Lake Albert in Africa to the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, to the Albert Medal presented by the Royal Society of Arts. Four regiments of the British Army were named after him: 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars; Prince Albert's Light Infantry; Prince Albert's Own Leicestershire Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, and The Prince Consort's Own Rifle Brigade. He and Queen Victoria showed a keen interest in the establishment and development of Aldershot in Hampshire as a garrison town in the 1850s. They had a wooden Royal Pavilion built there in which they would often stay when attending reviews of the army.[119] Albert established and endowed the Prince Consort's Library at Aldershot, which still exists today.[120]
Biographies published after his death were typically heavy on eulogy. Theodore Martin's five-volume magnum opus was authorised and supervised by Queen Victoria, and her influence shows in its pages. Nevertheless, it is an accurate and exhaustive account.[121] Lytton Strachey's Queen Victoria (1921) was more critical, but it was discredited in part by mid-twentieth-century biographers such as Hector Bolitho and Roger Fulford, who (unlike Strachey) had access to Victoria's journal and letters.

Dangerous Jobs | Wiring America Documentary - Documentary Films

Building wiring is the electrical wiring and associated devices such as switches, meters and light fittings used in buildings or other structures. Electrical wiring uses insulated conductors.
Wiring safety codes vary by country, and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is attempting to standardise wiring amongst member countries. Wires and cables are rated by the circuit voltage, temperature and environmental conditions (moisture, sunlight, oil, chemicals) in which they can be used. Colour codes are used to distinguish line, neutral and ground (earth) wires.

The Power of Rain Drops

A large portion of the Namibian rangeland has been incised by erosion gullies down which much of the rainwater flows away, leaving the rangeland drier and less productive than in the past. Application of grazing management is usually insufficient on its own to restore protective grass cover where gullies dry the landscape. Therefore, various restoration techniques have been applied in different sites, relying mainly on local resources.
